Job 39
1 [Say] if you know the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and [if] you have marked the calving of the hinds:
“Ị maara mgbe ewu ọhịa bi nʼelu ugwu ji amụ nwa? O nweela mgbe ị ji hụ nne ele ka ọ na-amụpụta nwa ya?
2 and [if] you has have numbered the full months of their being with young, and [if] you have relieved their pangs:
Ị na-agụkọ ọnwa ole afọ ime ha na-adị tupu ha amụọ nwa ha. Ị maara oge ha na-amụ ụmụ ha?
3 and have reared their young without fear; and will you loosen their pangs?
Ha na-amakpuru ala mụpụta nwa ha. Ihe mgbu nke ọmụmụ nwa ha ebiekwa.
4 Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: [their young] will go forth, and will not return to them.
Ụmụ ha na-eto nʼọhịa gbasiekwa ike. Ha na-apụ, ha adịghị alaghachikwute ha ọzọ.
5 And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands?
“Onye na-eme ka ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa nwere onwe ya? Onye na-atọpụ agbụ e kere ya?
6 whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts.
Nke m nyere ala ihe na-adịghị ka ọ bụrụ ebe obibi ha, ala nnu ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ụlọ ha.
7 He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer.
Ụzụ dị nʼobodo adịghị emetụta ya, ọ naghị anụkwa mbigbọ nke onye na-achị ya.
8 He will survey the mountains [as] his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing.
Elu ugwu niile bụ ebe ịkpa nri ya, ebe ahụ ka ọ na-achọpụta ahịhịa ndụ ọbụla.
9 And will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or to lie down at your manger?
“Ị nwere ike ime ka atụ jeere gị ozi? Ị nwere ike ime ka ọ nọdụ nʼabalị nʼụlọ ebe ị na-azụ anụ ụlọ gị nri?
10 And will you bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plough furrows for you in the plain?
Ị nwere ike ime ka atụ rụọra gị ọrụ nʼubi gị? Ọ ga-akpụgharịrị gị ọgụ ị ji akọ ala?
11 And do you trust him, because his strength is great? and will you commit your works to him?
Ị ga-atụkwasị ya obi nʼihi na ike ya hiri nne? Ị ga-ahapụrụ ya ọrụ ndị ahụ siri ike ka ọ rụọ?
12 And will you believe that he will return to you your seed, and bring [it] in [to] your threshing floor?
I nwere ike ịtụkwasị ya obi ka o gaa bulatara gị ọka site nʼebe ịzọcha ọka gị?
13 The peacock has a beautiful wing: if the stork and the ostrich conceive, [it is worthy of notice],
“Enyi nnụnụ na-eji ọṅụ gbasapụ nku ya, ma a pụghị iji nku ya tụnyere nku na abụba nke ụgbala.
14 for [the ostrich] will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust,
Ọ na-eyi akwa ya nʼala ma hapụ ha ka uzuzu kpoo ha ọkụ.
15 and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them.
Ọ naghị emetụ ya nʼobi na ụkwụ nwere ike ịzọpịa ha maọbụ na anụ ọhịa nwere ike zọrie ha.
16 She has hardened [herself] against her young ones, as though [she bereaved] not herself: she labours in vain without fear.
Ọ na-emeso ụmụ ya ihe ike dịka a ga-asị na ha abụghị nke ya, ọ dịghị emetụta ya na ndọgbu nʼọrụ ya nwere ike i bụ nʼefu, ma ọ dịghị atụ egwu.
17 For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding.
Nʼihi na Chineke ekenyeghị ya amamihe maọbụ kenye ya oke na inwe uche.
18 In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider.
Ma ọ na-agbalite ọsọ. Mgbe ọbụla ọ gbasara nku ya ịgba ọsọ, ọ na-achị ịnyịnya na onye na-agba ịnyịnya ọchị.
19 Hast you invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror?
“Ọ bụ gị na-enye ịnyịnya ike ya, ka ọ bụ gị mere ka ajị ogologo ahụ o nwere dịrị nʼolu ya?
20 And have you clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage?
Ị na-eme ya ka ọ wụgharịa dịka igurube, were ebube nke ịmapụ imi ya na-eyinye ihe oke egwu?
21 He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain.
Ọ na-azọ ụkwụ gam gam nʼala, ọ na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi ike ya, ọ na-apụ izute agha na-atụghị egwu.
22 He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword.
Ọ na-achị ihe egwu ọchị, ụjọ ọbụla anaghị atụ ya; ọ naghị esi na mma agha wezuga onwe ya.
23 The bow and sword resound against him; and [his] rage will swallow up the ground:
Akpa àkụ na-ayọgharị nʼakụkụ ya, ya na ùbe na arụa na-egbu maramara.
24 and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds.
Mgbe ụzụ agha bara ya nʼisi, ọ na-eripịa ala. Mgbe ọ nụrụ ụda opi ike, ọ naghị eguzo otu ebe.
25 And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing.
Mgbe ụzụ agha bara ya nʼisi, ọ na-eti mkpu sị, ‘Ahaa!’ Site nʼebe dị anya ka ọ na-anụ isisi agha. Ọ na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ maka iti mkpu nke ndị ọchịagha nʼoge agha.
26 And does the hawk remain steady by your wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking towards the region of the south?
“Ọ bụ site nʼamamihe gị ka egbe ji efego nʼelu, gbasaakwa nku ya gaa nʼebe ndịda?
27 And does the eagle rise at your command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,
Ọ bụ gị nyere ugo iwu ifeli elu ma wuo akwụ ya nʼebe dị elu?
28 on a crag of a rock, and in a secret [place]?
Nʼelu nkume dị elu ka ọ na-ebi nọọkwa ọnọdụ abalị; ọwara nkume dị elu bụ ebe e wusiri ike ya.
29 Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.
O bụ site nʼebe ahụ ka ọ na-esi enyochapụta ihe ọ ga-eburu.
30 And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found.
Ụmụ ya na-amịchakwa ọbara, nʼihi na ebe ọ na-aga bụ ebe ọbụla ọ ga-ahụ ihe e gburu egbu.”
